With trepidation we came to school today wondering what would happen. We had lots to work out today as we had messages that we had to decipher. We started with a Caesar Shift code, as the alien gave us a wheel to help us work out the message. It took as a while but we managed to work out the message.
Earthlings we need your help. We have come from a galaxy far away and got lost when we turned left at Vega. We need your expertise to help us get back home but it is not going to be easy. You may need to work with others to get us home.
So we know we need to work together but with whom? Other children in the school? Others from outside?
As soon as we think we have answered one question we have others to work out!

We then had a big surprise. Starlab came from Techniquest. We all went into a giant dome and they told us all about the planets and stars. It was so much fun. We asked lots of questions and we found out that Vega is a star which was in our message.
We were then puzzled by one of the messages as it was made up of lots of 0's and 1's. We used our research skills with the internet and found out that it was a code called binary. Binary is used by Computer Scientists. So we found a ascii to binary alphabet and spent some time working out the message.
